Confirmed from North Sebastian Conservation Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature preserve with trails offering scenic views and bird-watching opportunities, plus a boardwalk.
What runners say about North Sebastian Conservation Area
“This is a beautiful area to enjoy over 10 miles of trails & boardwalks traversing many of the Beautiful wetlands.”
“If your a nature lover like myself, you'll enjoy this peaceful & serene trail 👣”
This is a beautiful area to enjoy over 10 miles of trails & boardwalks traversing many of the Beautiful wetlands. It's also a great place to walk your dog (must be leashed) and enjoy a variety of wildlife and bird watching. This is the only conservation tract managed by the county that also allows equestrian use.
My favorite place to go walking. I’ve seen so many scrub jays and cardinals. And their are piers to walk over wet areas and the lakes.
This place is huge they should mark it more clearly as to where everything is . You can definitely get turned around . I found out by accident there are two entrances one has the bridge and boardwalk. Nice place but sure needs signs on trails. The entrance near the boardwalk isaround the corner next to an Art Center.
I visited this trail based on recommendations from AllTrails but the trails are a lot larger and actually has a lot more hiking distance than shown on the app. Has a nice boardwalk towards the middle of the hike too. A very pleasant hike.
